The 1975 New York Cosmos season was the 5th season for the New York Cosmos in the now-defunct North American Soccer League. In the Cosmos' fifth year of existence the club finished 3rd in the five-team Northern Division and 12th out of 20 in the overall league table. Despite Pelé joining the club midseason in what English writer Gavin Newsham said was the "the transfer coup of the century,"[3] bringing unprecedented attention to soccer in the United States, the Cosmos missed the playoffs for the second straight year.
